Notes

The section does not fully correspond to [SM D2/8/7] since, for instance, it is approximately 64 (instead of 51) feet deep excluding the porte-cochere and a projecting bay to the garden. It mostly corresponds to [SM D2/8/3] and is a development of [SM D2/8/7], [SM D2/8/5] and [SM D2/8/20]. The floor-to-ceiling heights are 14, 11 and 7 feet 6 inches.
